Our focal point programmes offer community pharmacy professionals a clinical focus on practice. We deliver focal point events on key clinical topics each year, which are run by our tutors in local areas across England. You can also study previous topics and distance learning programmes and you can see the range of available programmes in the list below. Our latest topic is patient safety.
Pharmacy teams can also use the materials to learn in small groups called learning communities or you can download the programmes for self-study.
For other learning formats on clinical topics (eg, online or distance learning programmes) use our search facility at the top of the page or our A-Z tab to filter your options.
Our online environment theLearningpharmacy.com™ supports the whole community pharmacy team with practice-based teaching and learning. Each pharmacy floor offers short interactive challenges, based on common pharmacy scenarios, that you can study on your own or use to engage your team in learning.

We recognise that people have different learning needs. Some of our programmes contain core learning while others deliver more complex learning that is only required to support certain roles. We have three categories of learning (1,2,3) and have allocated each programme to an appropriate category.
Core learning. Builds on limited knowledge. Some background reading may be required.
Application of knowledge. Assumes prior learning.
Supporting specialisms. We may not be the provider and will signpost you to other learning providers.
Learning programmes from other providers which complement your learning.
